A certain shop repairs both audio and video components. Let A denote the event that the next component brought in for repair is an audio component, and let B be the event that the next component is a compact disc player (so the event B is contained in A). Suppose that \(P\left( A \right) = 0.6\)and\(P\left( B \right) = 0.05\). What is\(P\left( {B|A} \right)\)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability, \(P\left( {A|B} \right) = 0.0833\)

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Probability

The term "probability" simply refers to the likelihood of something occurring. We can talk about the probabilities of certain outcomes鈥攈ow likely they are鈥攚hen we're unsure about the outcome of an event. Statistics is the study of occurrences guided by probability.

02

Calculation for the determination of probability

In the exercise, we are given that

\(\begin{array}{l}P(A) &=& 0.6\\P(B) &=& 0.05\\B \subseteq A\end{array}\)

From \(B \subseteq A\)

we have

\(A \cap B = B \Rightarrow P(A \cap B) = P(B) = 0.05\)

Conditional probability of A given that the event B has occurred, for which \(P(B) > 0\),\(P(A\mid B) = \frac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(B)}}\)\(\)

for any two events A and B.

From the definition we have

\(P(B\mid A) = \frac{{P(B \cap A)}}{{P(A)}} = \frac{{P(B)}}{{P(A)}} = \frac{{0.05}}{{0.6}} = 0.0833\)

A sonnet is a \({\rm{14}}\)-line poem in which certain rhyming patterns are followed. The writer Raymond Queneau published a book containing just \({\rm{10}}\) sonnets, each on a different page. However, these were structured such that other sonnets could be created as follows: the first line of a sonnet could come from the first line on any of the \({\rm{10}}\) pages, the second line could come from the second line on any of the \({\rm{10}}\) pages, and so on (successive lines were perforated for this purpose).

a. How many sonnets can be created from the \({\rm{10}}\) in the book?

b. If one of the sonnets counted in part (a) is selected at random, what is the probability that none of its lines came from either the first or the last sonnet in the book?

Three components are connected to form a system as shown in the accompanying diagram. Because the components in the 2鈥3 subsystem are connected in parallel, that subsystem will function if at least one of the two individual components functions. For the entire system to function, component 1 must function and so must the 2鈥3 subsystem.

The experiment consists of determining the condition of each component (S(success) for a functioning componentand F (failure) for a non-functioning component).

a. Which outcomes are contained in the event Athat exactly two out of the three components function?

b. Which outcomes are contained in the event Bthat at least two of the components function?

c. Which outcomes are contained in the event Cthat the system functions?

d. List outcomes in C鈥, A \( \cup \)C, A \( \cap \)C, B \( \cup \)C, and B \( \cap \)C.

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center.

a. A certain college team has on its roster three centers, four guards, four forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? (Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.)

b. Now suppose the roster has \({\rm{5}}\) guards, \({\rm{5}}\) forwards, \({\rm{3}}\)centers, and \({\rm{2}}\) 鈥渟wing players鈥 (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the \({\rm{15}}\) players are randomly selected, what is the probability that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup?

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is .96. Assuming independent operation of the valves, calculate P(at least one valve opens) and P(at least one valve fails to open).

A college library has five copies of a certain text onreserve. Two copies (1 and 2) are first printings, and the other three (3, 4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when a second printing has been selected. One possible outcome is 5, and another is 213.

a. List the outcomes in S.

b. Let Adenote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A?

c. Let Bbe the event that book 5 is the one selected. What outcomes are in B?

d. Let Cbe the event that book 1 is not examined. What outcomes are in C?
